Hi! I, too, tried to get in some favorite foods that I knew I would have to give up in the future. But I didn't gain to much. I had my surgery May 26th and have lost 25 pounds so far. I had my first fill last week. I wish you all the best with your upcoming surgery. Good Luck!

Welcome, I am going to be 62. I had my lapband done in Oct 2009. To date I have lost 50 lbs post op, but 35 lbs on the 6 month diet my insurance required. My PCP advised me on my last apt that all my blood came back ok. No more high cholesterol and any other obesity signs. I know that it was not a"piece of cake" but I am moving on through. I am 7 lbs from my surgeons goal. Good luck to you!:confused:

Bye the way, we have a 60's or older group here. Join us there, if you like, we are a friendly bunch!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
